Ok, iv just germed 2 nl5 x haze mist fems and i plan on using the best one of the two to take my 30 clones from, il only use 25 but il be taking 30 just to be sure i get 25 rooted.
The two seedlings are currently in my veg room under a blue spectrum 125w eco-lite in a reflector, in 1.4l square pots and after the first week or so il be turning my second eco-lite on which is hanging and not in any reflector.
I figure itl take about 8-10 weeks to raise the mums and get 25 cuts rooted, i have 2 x nl5xhaze mist fems and three big buddha cheese in the flower room, all seedgrown plants that were vegged for six weeks and are now in their 2nd week of 12/12 in 10l pots, i also have in there 8 nl cross clones and 8 cheese clones that only got 4days veg time after rooting and are in their first week of 12/12 and were taken from the bigger seedgrowns, theyre just to fill in the gaps between the bigger seedgrowns as theyre currently in round pots.
My current plants have about 8 weeks left in the budbox which gives me plenty of time to raise the mums and root the cuts, my budbox is lit with a 600w sylvania growlux hps dual spectrum lamp in a cooltube setup, my 600w ballast will also run mh lamps and im cosidering buying a 600w mh lamp for last two-three weeks of veg and just use the eco-lites to raise the mums, root the clones and the first week of veg to give them a gentle start before they go under HID lighting.
The clones once rooted will go into 1.4l pots of westlands west+ multi purpose organic compost with added john innes +30% perlite, then after two weeks or so when theyve rooted their pots they will be potted-on into 6l pots of the compost neat and continued to veg until they have rooted out the 6l pots should be two-three weeks then il be dropping the light to 12/12.
Nl5 x haze mist is an 11week strain according to greenhouse so its really closer to 12 or 13 weeks.
Im hoping for around an ounce per 4 week vegged smallish clone, so 25 clones, 25oz lovely jubbly.
So this is kind of a two way journal, my current plants starting halfway through, and the next lot which will be the 25 clone SOG, right at the very beginning with starting the 2 mothers off.
Today i took my current plants out of the budbox flower room and laid out the 25 6l square pots just to make sure they fit into the floorspace, and they fit perfectly, 5 rows of 5 pots, every bit of floorspace will be used.
I also lined out my budbox with diamond mylar today.
Nutes: for veg i wont be using any, theres plenty in the compost already in their first 1.4l pot to see them through the first two weeks, then theyl be potted on into their final 6l pots of fresh compost which will feed them fine until the first weeks of 12/12.
Once in flowering il be using 100% organic bio-bizz grow & bloom nutes + epsom salts to be used at around 3-4 weeks into 12/12 because bio-bizz nutes are a bit low in Mg and Mg deficiencies tend to show up around this time after the stretch and full flower begins.
I also use superthrive at 1drop per 4ltrs of water to water after the re-pots to ease transplant stress.
Heres a few pics, one of the pots in place to give me an idea of how the plant layout will be, a pic of the diamond mylar in place in the budbox/flower room, a pic of my 600w cooltube/extraction/filtration system, pics of the two to-be mums and my little veg room overall.
Il get some pics of the current nl cross and cheese grow up when flower room lights are back on tomorrow.
Take seat and feel free to ask any questions along the way.
